It is a bittersweet scene as experts meticulously dismantle these timeworn structures, ensuring their preservation for generations to come. The focus lies on Nos. 54-57, where skilled hands carefully disassemble each timber piece with utmost care and precision. These precious materials will soon find themselves placed in storage until they can be re-erected at the city end of Spon Street as part of an ambitious townscape scheme. This photograph captures not only a physical transformation but also symbolizes a deep respect for heritage and tradition.
